President Obama does have a bird species named after him, but it's a small bird from western Amazonia. No matter how patriotic a scientist is, an eagle species named Obamai presidente would still be over the top!

Caloplaca obamae (lichen)

Obamai presidente (eagle)

Obamadon gracilis (extinct reptile)

This fly species is named after a famous comedian because of the way it folds its legs when it dies. (Seriously.)

It's perhaps one of the strangest reasons to name a species, but there you have it. When Campsicnemus charliechaplini dies, it folds its middle legs in a way that reminded the scientist of Charlie Chaplin's famously bowed legs.

Which celebrity is the inspiration for the wasp Preseucoela imallshookupis?
